A Great Criminal Lawyer.

to the sea shore, and is reaching out be
yond the borders of North Carolina into

So great is the faith of the people of
Ibis comity in his abilily that when il
became known that he had been engaged
as counsel for the defense in the celebra
ted Fuller murder trial, which was moved
from Faycllcville to Rockingham, Ihose
who arc acquainted with his wonderlul
success in past cases of that description,
said at once, "Fuller will now be acquit
ted," notwithstanding the fact that at his
former trial at l'ayetteville a jury had
found him guilty of murder in the first
the ' degree and he had been sentenced to be

Forty Three Years Service
Tho citizms of Wcldon learned with sin
cere regret that the seaboard Air Line
people had decided to dispenso with tbc
services of Mr. J. L. Bass, on account of
old age, and have substituted in his place
a younger mau.
For the past forty three years Mr. Bass
has served the company well and faith
fully. Iu sunshine and in rain, in tin
trvins heat of summer and the fierce
storms of winter he has for nearly half
century been promptly at his post of
duty.
We do not pretend, of course, to die
tate to the company, the road knows its
own business and the efficiency of its
uiployees, but it does appear to mti b.i
rather hard on the old man to be
put down by the company simply because
ho has worn himself out in their service.
We are pleased to learn that there are no
iharges against him whatever, and that
the company recoguizy the fact that he
has always been faithful to duty, but
owing to old age only is the reason for
his removal. Mr Bass is one of our
most highly esteemed citig.'ns and is n
gentleman of unquestioned Christian
character and integrity.
Mr. Wade Pearson succeeds Mr.
Bass.

Catarrh Cannot he Cured with
local applications, as they cannot reach
the seat of the disease Catarrh is a blood
or constitutional disease, and in order to
cure it you must take internal remedies
Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally,
and acts directly on the blood an 1 mu
cous surfaces. Hall's Catarrh Curo is
not a nuaek medicine. It was prescribed
bv one of the best physicians in this
country for yeors, and is a regular pre
scrintion. It is composed of tho best
blood purifiers, acting directly on the
mucous surfaces. The perfect combin i-
tion of the two mgredieuts is what pro
duces such wonderful results in curing
Catarrh.

The OcTOtiEtt Heavens. In Octo
ber the calm mornings of sunshine will
visit us occasionally and appear like
glimpses of departed spiing amid the
wilderness of wet and windy days that
lead to winter. We now are beginning
to sec the difference between having the
sua on our side the line and seeing him
hurrying away to the southward. Our
lengthening nights, while they afford ad
ditional opportunities to enjoy studying
the starry map, deprivo us of just so
much sunlight and make us long once
more for the beautiful days of early sum
mer. Eleven degrees of southern decli
nation are added to the sun's record, so
that at the end of October ho will be
beyond the dividing line that halves the
distance from the equator to the winter
solstice.
We spoke of tho September nnon as
the harvest moon, but for Oetober wc
bavo it as the hunter's moon, its
mission being to lengthen the day for the
benefit of the sportsman. Tho diffjrenee
in successive risings of the hunter's moon
is less marked than in the case of the
harvest moon, but is considerably less
than tho moon's daily average, which is
some fifty-one minutes, -or thereabout.
While science throws to the wind the
idea of the moon adding to the length of
the day for the sole benefit of the hunts
man, and solves the phenomena by the
aetiou of physical l;iw, it reverently re
tains the name made sacred by Ihe mem
oiies of the past, when astronomy was
young.
A Huiie Wild Turkey. Mr. Jim
Wilcox in Halifax Monday exhibited to
our admiring gaze a beautiful trophy, one
that is calculated to excite the wonder
and envy of every hunter and lover of
woodcraft. It is the spur of a gobbler
he shot last March, which he has just
received from the north where he sent il
on to be mounted in some nrlislic and
enduring form. Tho artist was no slouch
himself and as a result of bis hunter's
imagination, tho evidence of Jim's sylvan
skill is an ornamental handle to an eli
gant silk umbrella. Resides being pretty
and unique it is useful in several ways.
It is finely polished and sharp as the
typical gaff itself. This end Jim will
me for his Sunday tooth pick, and during
the week will prod dogs and pick out
walnuts with it. The other end is hollow
with a screw top. This receptacle is
intended for four fingers straight, or
small lunch, matches, or such little things
for which a handy man usually has calls.
By a cuto piece of niechauisui, drop
nieklc in a slot and it at once becomes
cither a dog, lurkey or duck call, or a fox
horn, to suit tho hunter's convenience.
It m ay also be used as a drinking eup
funnel or combination tool chest. Jim
was explaining how it cuuld be used lo
an advantage by the fusion folks, when
some boy allowed it was a cow's horn
ho thought, whereupju Jim gaffed to the
hilt. In our hurry tn escape, wc caught
on to something about the turkey's
weighing s;venly five pounds lie reckoned
and ho killed hi ill up a tree a full hun
drcd yards, and when it fell in a pond, it
sloshed all the water out, and he liked to
have been drowned. Wo never caught
tlu size ot the bird, but presume it was
about the sizi of a small hill. Anyhow
it should be. Jim's veracity has hereto
lore sto id the test, and ho was never
kniwn to haudle tho truth carelessly
when narrating incidents of the gun and
rod, and wo are compelled to give ercdcncc
to tho umbrella yarn, especially since
was backed up by thoso noble vets of
fun Lunse Alston and John Daniel.
